Default FG2 Launch: Fuel and Emissions challange

Ok so its probably not going happen but I was thinking how interesting it would be. With all the different drive train options coming out this year I feel that perhaps the usual media route might not be enough to convey the message (theres so many!) So...heres an idea, not perfect, but something different.

The fleet would be:

Territory TX TDi RWD
Territory Titaniumm AWD I6
Falcon LiLPG XR6
Falcon XT EB4
Falcon G6E I6
(maybe a ute?)


Make legs between each capital city (including going to Tassie), with drive routes in and around each to see how each handles all conditions from highway to urban.

Make the mix of people from motoring journo's to the man Bob (CEO) himself. Run a competition for each state for people to participate locally or drive to the next capital (fly them back, whatever, get QANTAS to sponsor the event and offer the flights in return to their logo on the side..Aussie Aussie Aussie etc).

Have Wheels or Motor run a massive spread following the progress, the news papers would be all over it. And depending on how the maths stacks up previously, throw in a camry hybrid and a commodore V6 sidi-abcd.

Is it risky, well a little, but if you dont push you wont get noticed and I think a few myths could be debunked along the way. It opens the countries eyes, involves all states and best of all an Aussie product.

So come on Bob, your a marketing guru, yes it would cost a bomb but so does closing the doors when the poo hits the fan. FoA have a history of running events to prove a point, the XP durability run is an example that changed many opinions.

Virtual Gauntlet thrown down.

Dooo iiiit Bobby!
